Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
That is a 35 foot temporary channel. Will close in a few days, in order to get the ship out. 50 foot channel will open May 30th, if all goes well. That is far faster than I expected. All the drawings I am seeing are for a cable stayed bridge. There is even still debate about the name! With the bicke...

Re: Israel is Babylon the Great
If you were to say that Jerusalem WAS Babylon the Great, you would be accurate. The Israel of today is not in covenant relationship with YHWH and hasn't been for nearly 2000 years. For once, we are in complete agreement! Who are you in agreement with, O great Hasmonean? “” The Israel of today is no...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil
Bottom line: College has gotten just too expensive to justify the cost and lost years of income. Student debt just so unpalatable that students just don’t see the benefits. Some of the colleges here are names I know. They have hit a place where raising tuition any further results in a diminishing re...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
Flawed as the conservative Mennonite community may be, the finances, emotions, and time invested in trying to help newcomers and their families assimilate into the community stands as a testament to a desire that the new community members will share in the cultural capital of the community. I'm not...

Re: Where are the Anabaptists in the UK?
I love the channel Ready to Harvest. This was a neat and thorough video looking at the very very small number of anabaptist church groups in the UK today. https://youtu.be/BJoTjDCAUDk?feature=shared There are bruderhof comunities in the UK I know. They fled there as well when escaping the Nazis. AF...

Re: Israel is Babylon the Great
Peace to you. First of all, this is not anti-Semitism/racism. The Bible itself does not teach racism. When the Bible speaks negatively about Jews, it refers to Jews who are not Christians, not ethnic Jews in general. After much research, I found out that according to the Bible, Israel is Babylon th...

Re: Where are the Anabaptists in the UK?
I have long been under the impression that there have never been large numbers of Anabaptist Christians in the UK... Unless you count the Plymouth Brethren. Nothing against them, but while they would technically rebaptize anybody baptized as an infant and anybody who wasn't baptized by immersion, f...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
In the first couple centuries of the church, they had the "rule of faith". (The "Apostles' Creed" is actually significantly newer - from the 400s, 500s, or so). There were plenty of other important things that they talked about, sometimes disagreeing, sometimes agreeing; but wit...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
There are many things...from straight cuts to teetotaling to no ties to fundamentalist creeds, etc etc... do you think that any group of people are absolutely unchanged after 150 years? All groups adapt and define. Controversy forces definition. I would suggest that what you are misidentifying as &...
